Motion of the Australian continent has been well studied in the horizontal direction, but there are minimal studies considering the vertical motion. Recent measurements using the Global Positioning System (GPS) suggest that the Australian continent is sinking, but current understanding of geophysical processes suggests that the expected vertical motion of the plate should be close to zero or uplifting. Understanding how the surface of the earth changes has many important applications like the response of the earth system to climate and sea level change and resource availability. This presentation will explore how the Australian plate is moving and what that means for applications of precise positioning.
